Knowledge Network Upgrades With Help From AEL, March 12, 2009 back to recent news    

Mississauga, Ontario - March 12, 2008 – Knowledge Network is British Columbia's public Educational Media Service providing high quality, commercial-free documentaries and arts & culture programming. Knowledge contracted Applied Electronics to assist in the building of an end-to-end digital SD solution into their existing facility. Applied Electronics provided consultation, design and supply of the new tapeless digital system comprised of a monitor wall, master control, branding system, automation, and archive storage, which can all accommodate a future upgrade to HD.

The new master control system incorporates Miranda's Densité series modular products for signal processing and distribution, Kaleido-X (7RU/4RU) fully expandable, multi-image display system with integral router, PresStation master control switching and branding panel, Imagestore SD master control and brand processor, Vertigo X graphics manager, Xmedia Suite's Xstudio template authoring system for creating and previewing television graphics, and iControl monitor and alarm. Also included is a Sundance Titan automation system and a Sun StorageTek SL500 modular library system for archiving.

Knowledge Network successfully switched the distribution of their signal from analogue to an all-digital platform on time and on budget.
